Did you ever pick up your LFA? If so what has your experience been?

Yes, I did picked up the car, and it has being an amazing three months with almost 800 miles driven. I want to spend more time with the car and drive it more to understand better about the LFA before I post up my comments...


Thanks for asking

Thanks for the pictures. I see a Ferrari F430 in the pictures as well.

Please do post your detailed review whenever you get a chance.

Yes, indeed. The black 430 is a Scuderia, my F430 is a 3 pedal manual gearbox which is color yellow.


Thanks and cheers..

I am working on a deal right now for #494 in white pearl. Is that the color of yours? If so how do you like it? I originally was leaning toward whitest white, but could not ever get a response from Lexus on Pembrook Pines in FL. In some ways I think the white pearl is a little more elegant, but maybe less racy.

It would be great to hear 9KV10's review of the LFA. In the meanwhile, you can read the review of a Mclaren MP4-12C owner turned LFA owner. It is quite possibly the most detailed review by an owner so far. I think it will answer a lot of your questions.

Thanks for caring about my opinions and the LFA...


I also started looking for the whitest white, but ended up with the pearl white. The difference between both white color is minimal... When look under the bright sunlight, very hard to tell the difference, but in the dark and or look in close up, you do tell the difference.


I like both colors equally the same, and yet both white colors are elegant and racy to me...


So, you won't go wrong with either color...

Congrats! Whitest white is a brighter white without any pearls.

Hope to have it delivered in about two weeks. They are looking for the Tumi luggage and the crystal model. I fortunately get to deal with the LFA specialists that are in various parts of the country and they are very concerned about making sure the car is perfect before you take delivery and will gladly meet with me to run through the car and answer any questions I may have.

Starting to get pretty pumped up! I have lusted after the LFA since I was first introduced and can't believe I am actually buy I one. I am not some super weathy guy that is just buying it because I am just buying an expensive car to show off in. I am just a normal working stiff who happens to be a crazy car nut and is realizing a dream.

Hopefully the LFA lives up to all I have read and in a few weeks I can realize a dream come true.

Congradulation on your LFA purchase.


The LFA is an amazing piece of fine art in auto machinery. Look into detail, the LFA will surprise you!


Enjoy the LFA in good health.

Congratulations. Great to hear your experience has been great with the specialists.

Really looking forward to reading full reviews both by you and 9KV10.
